Estimation of airway obstruction using oximeter plethysmograph waveform data
BACKGROUND Validated measures to assess the severity of airway obstruction in patients with obstructive airway disease are limited. Changes in the pulse oximeter plethysmograph waveform represent fluctuations in arterial flow. Analysis of these fluctuations might be useful clinically if they represent physiologic perturbations resulting from airway obstruction. We tested the hypothesis that the...
متن کاملNoninvasive assessment of asthma severity using pulse oximeter plethysmograph estimate of pulsus paradoxus physiology
BACKGROUND Pulsus paradoxus estimated by dynamic change in area under the oximeter plethysmograph waveform (PEP) might provide a measure of acute asthma severity. Our primary objective was to determine how well PEP correlates with forced expiratory volume in 1-second (%FEV1) (criterion validity) and change of %FEV1 (responsiveness) during treatment in pediatric patients with acute asthma exacer...
متن کاملApplications of Infrared Plethysmograph Waveform Time-Frequency Analysis
In the past, when patients were taking computed tomography (CT) scan, the physician usually monitored the patients on-site as a passive way; however, the entire physiological conditions of the patients couldn’t be fully comprehended this way. According to many clinical reports, the heart rates of the patients under tomography may fluctuate because of the injection of contrast medium. A standard...
متن کاملFrequency dependence of specific airway resistance in a commercialized plethysmograph.
Specific airway resistance (sRaw) measured by body plethysmography has been shown to decrease markedly with decreasing breathing frequency when the inspired air is not conditioned to body temperature, atmospheric pressure and saturation with water vapour (BTPS). The phenomenon has been attributed to noninstantaneous gas warming and wetting in the airways. The aim of this investigation was to as...
متن کاملUnrestrained acoustic plethysmograph for measuring specific airway resistance in mice.
An acoustic whole body plethysmograph was developed to estimate specific airway resistance (sRaw) in unrestrained mice. The plethysmograph uses acoustic principles to measure the thoracic breathing pattern and simultaneously measures the airflow entering and/or leaving the plethysmograph. Similarly to traditional methods utilizing a double-chamber plethysmograph, these measurements were combine...
